fine I guess, nothing groundbreaking if you’ve been engaged with feminist content for a while. A good entry point, but not without an active interest. It gets quite graphic and intense, without a clear “resolution” that could leave a reader/listener uninspired.
Also the critique of “empowerment” seemed narrow. Criticisms of sex, sexuality and pornography are valid to an extent but extremely nuanced and I’m not sure this book came even close to doing these topics justice.
These thoughts are with a young woman reader imagined. If the book was intended for a male readership, I think the marketing and some of the tone was off, but closer aligned.
